On November 28, 2019, the body of a 70-year-old male, identified as Robert Carrone, was discovered in Memphis, Tennessee. Carrone, a Black male, was found in a location where he had evidently succumbed to unknown circumstances before being transported to Methodist University for examination. The identification process was successfully completed by the Medical Examiner's Office through fingerprint analysis, affirming the identity of the deceased as Robert Carrone. This positive identification presented no complications; however, the investigation has since hit a roadblock regarding locating any known next of kin or family members who could claim Carrone's body and manage his funeral arrangements.
The case, officially cataloged under the NamUs ID UCP68064, remains under the purview of the Memphis Police Department. Despite extensive efforts by the authorities, no relatives have been identified or have come forward to provide insight or lay claim to Carrone's final affairs. The lack of familial presence or acknowledgment complicates closure for the parties involved in the investigation, leaving the department with limited options to proceed with post-mortem protocols befitting Carrone's dignity.
The Memphis Police Department continues to oversee the case, with their operations based out of 170 North Main Street in Memphis, Tennessee. They remain open to any information that might lead to the identification of Robert Carrone's next of kin or any associated acquaintances. For individuals who might possess pertinent details, communication with the department is encouraged either through their contact number at 901-636-3700 or through the agency's website at http://www.memphispolice.org/. The agency case number for reference is 1911012644ME. Authorities are hopeful that through public engagement and media coverage, some light may be shed on Carrone's life, enabling a respectful conclusion to his remaining affairs.
